Delta 28-203 Bandsaw Dust Port (expanded)

thingiverse

Anyone who has tried to resaw wood on a Delta 14" bandsaw (especially with the riser block) has no doubt found themselves covered in sawdust. There are a lot of people who have taken to either replacing the lower door with one that has a bigger dust port or (and for some reason this makes me shudder) cut one into the factory door. I started this just by trying to get something a little more adaptable to my 4" dust collection system. I ended up enlarging the port and the opening to the saw and while it doesn't get all the dust, it certainly makes the dust cloud better. Two photos are of the original part (it's black). Then there's a resin printed prototype and the final PLA version installed on the saw. There may be other saws that it fits. If you know of other model numbers that it will fit, leave a comment and I'll update the description. Also, I've gotten a lot of requests for printed versions of this. Commercial success is not really why I did this but if you head to www.thatboxmaker.com you can order one fully printed.
